Well, run the cementboard price through your estimate. If it gets wet
(basement flooding, plumbing problem, etc) it laughs it off (using
galvanized deck screws to attach it will help it not show anything). It
takes significantly more impact to damage it. In these ways it's better
than drywall, which somewhat justifies the price, and it's already in
smaller pieces.
